Every day is a perfect day to pamper your precious pet. National Pet Day is Monday, April 11 and we’ve rounded up some fabulous shops and lodges in and around Philadelphia who share your affinity for pets and can help you spoil them with baked goodies, toys and spa days.

1544 E Passyunk Ave. /Website
Treat your pet to homemade, natural treats and handmade pet accessories. Order a custom cake for your pet and have the shop design a custom portrait as the icing on top of the cake (literally!). The shop has adorable and presumably tasty treats and offerings for both dogs and cats.
Multiple Locations /Website
Stop at one of the many Doggie Style Pets locations around the city to pick up just about anything you’ll need to care for your pet. Head to their Spruce Street location for free pup ice cream every weekend. Or, treat your pet to bathing, grooming, training, or a veterinarian check-up, all of which are offered at their stores. Better yet, adopt a friend for your animal through their adoption services. Browse through all the available cuties here.
50 S Main St., New Hope / Website
Take your furry friend on a vacation to celebrate National Pet Day this year. Who’s better company for a spur-of-the-moment weekend vacation? Add on the ‘Dog Lover’s Delight package’ at the Ghost Light Inn or neighboring inn the Carriage House. The package includes: a gift certificate for pet portraits, leather doggy bag pouch, bandana, Ghost Light Inn custom collar, personalized dog name tag, treats from a local pet bakery, a guide of pet-friendly things to do, and other amenities that truly make this a vacation for you AND your dog.
With the package, guests also receive a dinner reservation at adjacent property Stella of New Hope, which features menus for both dogs and humans. On the ‘Pup Menu’, dogs can enjoy ground beef and barley, chicken and brown rice, or farro and salmon belly.
The price for the package is $250 in addition to the price of lodging.
1620 Chancellor St. /Website
Bring your pet to this newly launched hotel located in Rittenhouse Square. Guests can bring up to two dogs and, given advanced notice, the hotel provides water bowls, dog treats and dog beds. Humans and pets will find ample green space surrounding the hotel, as well.
4324 Main St. /Website
Head to the Pet Friendly Dog Bakery for delicious, adorably decorated treats, of course, but also for pet parties! The shop holds seasonal events like pictures with the easter bunny, an easter egg hunt (dogs are separated into weight classes to ensure things don’t get out of hand), and even a corgi party. Treat your furry friend to a party with his or her own kind.
1939 E Passyunk Ave. /Website
Treat your pooch to a trip to the spa! Dogs can be pampered to a full blowout, just a trim, or a pedicure complete with dog-safe nail polish. The spa also takes care of your pup’s hygiene as well, with ear cleaning, teeth brushing, nail trimming and baths. Scroll through their Instagram page to see their happy dog-show-ready clients.
